What motivates a person voluntarily to choose to live a life devoid of all the materialistic comforts of modern day life?

But they don't - they use smartphones and laptops and printers and laundry facilities etc. My parents lived in a fifth wheel for a year traveling across the US and Canada. So do tens of thousands of people. Not sure it is movie worthy and scenes of sunsets and roads is not my idea of great cinematography.

Slow and quiet with nothing happening doesn't make it good. But hey whatever floats your boat.
